Today, I found out where my favorite shirt has been for the last six months. My ex-fiancé's new girlfriend is wearing it. FML

The situation is a bit more in depth... maybe this little addition might clear it up some. She knows it's mine, because when I was living with him, towards the end of the relationship, she had become a pseudo roommate. This'll probably up the "you deserve it" and ah well. The shirt is my favorite for the reason that it was only available at a particular booth at the San Diego Comic-con. After the end of the relationship I had literally only one day to pack for a flight, which I had to get at the last minute (we live in Oregon, my family is in California). The apartment just wasn't organized or easy to find everything that I had there. To allow myself to get over the breakup I hadn't kept contact and of course was distracted with finding a job and getting back to normalcy that when I finally got back into contact with him, and when I finally realized that the shirt was missing, there was a conveniently posted facebook photo of his new gal and him. The shirt is unmistakable, as, like I said, it's not widely available. Oh, and I rocked that shirt like no other, the new girl looks like a reject Sinead O'Connor with man hands; why on Earth would my favorite shirt look hideous on me?

Let her know its yours, he probably gave it to her and said it was a gift lol once she knows its yours, even if she seemingly doesn't believe you, it will still be in the back of her mind. & she will probably be more pissed at the guy then you are right now :P

Sounds like he's trying to fill a void there haha

Oh hell no!! I'd go off on him if that was my favorite shirt!

It's mostly your fault for not keeping track of your stuff. I know that seeing such a thing may sting, but it probably wasn't out of any spite. He may have found it, assumed that it was just a shirt you didn't care about anymore, and offered it to her so it didn't go to waste. Even if it was spiteful, do you really want the shirt back then? Every time you see it, you'll be reminded of those hurtful feelings. It's probably best to leave your old shirt, and your old relationship, in the past. Oh, and get a sexy new shirt.

for that first paragraph, the ex boyfriend probably did know, because he was, ya know, her boyfriend. I can see where you're coming from though, in both paragraphs.

Get your ******* shirt back! Then burn it!

well, since you have seen her with it on it stands to reason you see the "couple" some I assume. Working under this assumption the next time you see her with him and your shirt is on her back, approach them, introduce yourself and then kindly ask that **** to give you your shirt. Problem solved.

Who cares? Its a bloody shirt. Sure Its your FAVOURITE. Right. So its your favourite shirt and you didnt think to grab it when you and your ex-boyfriend broke up? Maybe just maybe the new girlfriend has the exact same shirt already or maybe the ex-boyfriend gave it to her. Who really cares? Its a shirt. It seems that the issue is not about the shirt, but the fact that you still hung up on him that you pay attention to what the new girlfriend is wearing. Forget about the shirt and him and move on. Living in the past isnt healthy.

The fact that it took her 6 months to realise where the damn shirt was proves that she wasn't hunging up on him as you seem to believe. And yes she should keep track of her stuff but after the breakup probably what she wanted the most was to leave the house as fast as possible get on the plane and fly back home to take her mind of the situation. She probably didn't have the time to carefully go through a list of all the stuff she had. Imagine just: "Hey I'm breaking up with you, I found someone else, like my «roommate»..." "Oh that's awful. I'm moving out.... Have you seen every single thing I have so I don't forget anything? let's just spend hours looking, shall we?" seems like it could happen. I feel sorry for you OP, hope you got the shirt back. The memories attached to it don't have to be from your ex or his new whatsoever.
